  2009 BMW 750i - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By Robert Felts - August 7 - 12:28 am

  Gas mileage is poor in town, more like 13 than 15. Hi-way mileage is ok, averaging about 21.5 mpg. About 16.3 combined. Car is a fantastic machine and a true pleasure to drive - acceleration. anti-sway, steering control and ability to cruise comfortably at high speed are all phenomenal. Accessories are second to none. I had a 2009 E550 before this, and IMO it was inferior to this 750i. Maybe the best car Ive ever owned -- except for a 2003 Honda V-6 that was an engineering marvel engine-wise. I know potential maintenance costs could kill me down the road, but this car was pretty much gone through by the dealer before purchase, so hopefully itll be a while before repairs start. Short story? The Ultimate Driving Machine, hands-down. I love it.

  BMW builds another fantastic 7 Series! - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By Tcjenn - July 5 - 7:55 am

  I have owned four BMW 7 series. 1991, 95, 2006 and 2009. This newest one, 2009 750Li is a fantastic automobile. The upgrade in power from a normally aspirated 360 hp v8 to the new twin turbo charged v8 is great. I can really feel the difference. I like the heads up display. I like all of the new features like the lane departure warning, the blind spot avoidance, the lane change vibration steering wheel , the continued excellent leather used, the continued excellent standard of the industry BMW seats.

  European Delivery - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By HappyBeemerHeads - December 21 - 2:31 pm

  Took European Delivery in August for four weeks. Fantastic car on the autobahns of Central Europe. When we had a chance, it cruised effortlessly at 120 mph, and felt fine when we found a section of road where 140 was safe. Unfortunately, never got a chance to get to the limiter. Only knock is that it was too big to park in much of Europe. Back home, it is smooth as silk, and worth every outrageous penny.

  "Without a doubt the best car yet" - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By BROGERS - September 21 - 4:24 pm

  I recently purchased my second 750Li after owning a BMW 07 Li. My first ride was unbelievable. Fast, comfortable, easy to handle, idrive more friendly, head up option and nav system 100% better, so quiet you have to check the tach to know it running, and 0-60 time is really true. This beast is a sports car feel in a limo body. Nothing compares with it. Mercedes cant hold a candle to the 750Li. Ive owned both.

  Putting my new 750i through its paces - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By knowbody - September 7 - 8:45 pm

  I stepped up from a 2006 530i and must say the new 750i has noticeably more power and acceleration. It is extremely quiet at all speeds (I sometimes have to look at the tachometer to make sure the engine is running). I havent put it completely through its paces yet, but accelerating onto the highway is no effort. I guess with 0-60 in 5.2 seconds I shouldnt be surprised. I love the electronics and find the iDrive much easier to use than my 530i. This vehicle is rock solid and top quality.

  The Full Package - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By RJ Salm - July 5 - 9:19 pm

  Ive only had the car for 2 weeks but this is the most amazing vehicle Ive ever driven. This car is ridiculously quick, far faster than a luxury sedan has the right to be. It must be conservatively rated at 5.1 seconds to 60 as it certainly feels much faster. Thats saying something as Im coming out of a tuned 2006 Carrera S. Its a large car that apparently doesnt realize its own size, with the 4 wheel steering and adaptive steering it turns on a dime. The optional sound system is excellent (although a 6 disc player is a waste of space in the dash when you already have a 12 gig hard drive and iPod adapter). Brakes feel grabby when in sport mode, likely the tranny dropping into 1st.

  Beauty and the Beast - 2009 BMW 7-Series
  By Chas - April 8 - 2:41 pm

  The beauty is on the outside, the beast is under the hood. Ive been waiting for this car to hit the ground since they announced the new model. I thought I have to drive it before I make a decision on what car to purchase next. I thought it couldnt be much more fun to drive than my 07 550I. I was wrong. At low/normal speeds this car is as smooth as silk and a very quite ride. Drop it into sport mode and nail it, and you have a full blown sport sedan thats not only faster than the 550 but handles just as well. Needless to say, I traded the 550 that same day and drove off in the 09 750I. I drove all of the competitors offerings, A8, S550, E550. No comparison. Very solid. Sport option a must.
